Construction workers face fall risk at height, oxygen-deficient confined spaces and combustible atmospheres on site. Protect your workforce with OHS Act-compliant fall protection, gas detection and PPE. Supporting construction projects across South Africa and SADC.
We supply, commission, service and maintain safety equipment protecting your people from the fall risks, confined space hazards and site-access failures that define construction environments.
Falls from height, confined space hazards and atmospheric dangers cause preventable fatalities on South African construction sites every year. If any of these apply, it is time to act.
Scaffolding, roofing and steel fixing expose workers to fall risk on every active site. The OHS Act Construction Regulations require a fall protection plan for any work above 2 metres. Without a certified harness system and compliant anchorage, a single misstep becomes a fatality.
Construction teams regularly enter excavations, stormwater pipes and underground chambers that accumulate CO, H2S and methane from surrounding services. Oxygen levels can drop without warning. Entry without a calibrated multigas detector puts every worker at lethal risk.
Suspension trauma can begin within minutes of a fall arrest event. The OHS Act requires a documented rescue plan and the equipment to execute it. Without a tripod retrieval system or trained standby attendant, an arrested fall or confined space emergency can still become fatal.
For over 25 years, PSA Africa has supported contractors, developers and construction teams across Southern Africa with compliant, professionally tested and field-proven safety equipment.

Flexible yet durable construction allows secure patient immobilisation and easy manoeuvrability through restricted access areas. Compact, rollable design with integrated lifting and towing capability ensures rapid deployment during high-risk rescue operations.
Lightweight industrial safety helmet for everyday head protection across active construction sites.
Durable shell helps protect workers from common impact and falling-object hazards during building, maintenance and infrastructure work. Comfortable design makes it suitable for extended daily use across demanding site environments.
Rugged 4-gas monitor for CO, H2S, oxygen and LEL detection in construction confined spaces.
Detects the four primary atmospheric hazards in construction confined spaces and excavations. Durable housing withstands dust, moisture and impacts. Fast sensor response enables confident permit-to-work decisions before entry.
Advanced multi-gas monitor engineered for complex industrial and emergency operations.
Features superior sensor technology and extended runtime, delivering reliable detection of combustible gases, toxic gases and oxygen deficiency. Lightweight, rugged design with clear real-time readings for confident decision-making.
Portable anchorage system for safe confined space entry and emergency retrieval on construction sites.
Provides a stable overhead anchorage above manholes, chambers and other vertical entry points. Lightweight construction and telescoping legs allow quick setup, supporting controlled access and retrieval during confined space operations.
Premium full-body harness for secure access and retrieval during demanding confined space operations.
Flexible webbing and an athletic-cut design improve mobility when entering chambers, shafts and restricted areas. Multiple attachment points support fall protection and retrieval while providing greater comfort during extended operations.
Full-face respirator for respiratory and eye protection during hazardous construction activities.
Protects the face, eyes and respiratory system when used with appropriate filters or cartridges for the identified hazard. Wide viewing area supports visibility during maintenance, chemical handling and restricted-area work.
Compact rescue stretcher for casualty extraction from confined and restricted construction spaces.
Flexible design allows use in manholes, shafts, tunnels and other areas where conventional stretchers are difficult to deploy. Supports casualty immobilisation and controlled extraction during confined space rescue operations.
Intrinsically safe rechargeable torch for illumination in hazardous and confined construction environments.
Zone 0 certification supports use where potentially explosive atmospheres may be present. Compact design provides reliable portable lighting during inspections, confined space entry and work in dark underground areas.
